Computer Science Engineering scope, jobs, salary and course details

In this article, we will have an in-depth analysis of B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering program. It is a popular branch among students and offers decent job opportunities after graduation. I will provide information such as- basic course details, course duration, eligibility criteria, important subjects present, courses to do after Graduation, scope and job opportunities.

Students who are interested in programming, software development, computer science and have good analytical and reasoning skills may pursue this course. B.C.A. (Bachelor of Computer Applications) is a slightly similar course. But B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering is bit more detailed and is a much more valuable Degree!

Find details about Computer Science and Engineering course-

Come, let us check out the basic course details-

B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering: Basic course details

It is a 4 years long Undergraduate Level Degree program. The 4 years’ duration is divided into 8 semesters, with each semester lasting a period of 6 months. During each semester, students will have to face different sets of theoretical subjects as well as practical lab sessions associated with them.

B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering is all about Computer Sciences, programming languages, software development and testing, networking etc. It also focuses on using the above mentioned skills and knowledge for practical and Industry specific usage.

To get a better idea about the structure of the course, I’ve created a list of some of the most important subjects present in B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering program. Come, let us take a look at it-

Not all subjects present in the program has been listed. Only important subjects, with the aim of giving readers an idea about the course structure, has been listed.

In case of 1st and 2nd semester, general set of Engineering subjects are present, along with practical lab session and workshop.

Engineering Mathematics

Engineering Physics

Communication Skills

Elements of Electrical Engineering

Elements of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanics of Solids

Basics of Civil Engineering

Engineering Graphics

Computer Programming and Utilization

Environmental Science

From 3rd semester onwards, subjects focusing on Computer Science and its various disciplines will be introduced.

Electronics and Semiconductors

Data Structure and Management

Software Quality Testing

Artificial Intelligence

Along with theoretical classes, practical lab sessions associated with many subjects are also present. Some of the above mentioned subjects are recurring ones, meaning they will appear in more than one semester.

In case of some semesters, elective subjects are also present. The choice available, when it comes to elective subjects, varies from one Institute to another.

Apart from the above mentioned subjects and practical, Industrial training and project work will play an integral role in 6th, 7th and 8th semesters.

Eligibility Criteria

10+2 Science stream students with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects, who have passed board examination from a recognized board are eligible to pursue this course. Students must also have appeared for state level entrance examination to be considered eligible to take part in the admission process.

Courses to do after B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering

Traditional M.E./M.Tech. programs also exists, which Graduates may pursue. Such programs will help one specialize in disciplines such as CAD, Networking, Security aspects etc.

M.B.A. is another choice available in front of Graduates. It will help Graduates obtain management skills and thus improve their qualifications.

Scope, Salary and Job opportunities

Job opportunities are available for Graduates in Government as well as Private sector. Graduates may take up the following job posts-

Software Engineer

Software Tester

Project Manager

Application Developer

After completing M.E./M.Tech. program, one may also take up a teaching job. Also, after taking up PhD program, one may also build a career in the Research and Development sector. The good thing about B.E./B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering program is that it also allows one to remain self employed. Average starting salary is generally between 3-5 Lakh Rupees an year. One may start one’s own programming and software development venture and remain self employed!
